Me to my manager when he says he enjoys a good meme:

[Brian Via @BrianVia]

i told myself sell in may and go away wouldn't apply this year

[Brian Via @BrianVia]

@skeptrune this implies that vite isn't good naturally and i'd argue it is

If the @tbpn crew doesn’t play mafia next I will riot @DylanAbruscato @RealProducerBen

Lots of calls to tax AI but as a reminder we already tax AI through...existing taxes.

We tax the income of employees of AI companies, capital gains from AI investors, profits of companies benefiting from AI efficiencies.

AI is just growth. Tax revenue goes up when we grow.

More entertaining than most VC pods

Gee it’s a good thing I’m not investing in a risky asset like the the SpaceX IPO and instead am in safe things like a triple leveraged bullish silicon etf

[Brian Via @BrianVia]

Nothing against SpaceX but this seems like the clearest “dump on retail” signal I’ve ever seen

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

NEW: Fidelity lowers the minimum account requirement for the SpaceX IPO from as high as $500,000 to just $2,000.

@creatine_cycle pretty sure that place is in Gary, Indiana

@RJCcapital it's honestly comical at this point. "swing trader" is doing more swings than my toddler at the playground on any given day.

@mil000 makes me miss the 8800GTXs. absolute units.

[Brian Via @BrianVia]

@surface but can it run crysis

Glad to see them going to a good home. Cloudflare seems to be the steward we deserve for meaningful open source web dev projects.

[Cloudflare @Cloudflare]

VoidZero, the team behind Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, Oxc, and Vite+, is joining Cloudflare. Vite stays open source, vendor-agnostic, and built for everyone. https://t.co/DJTpX4Q9Xt

My mom said i don't have to come into work today because the nasdaq is down 1.5%

[Brian Via @BrianVia]

@iamdavidhill Careful he might block you

[Brian Via @BrianVia]

The fact that you can't get telemetry on who is doing useful stuff and who is prompting "build me a todo app that makes a billion dollars on the side, no mistakes" means you're unserious about your engineering productivity.

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi: "We Blew Through Our AI Budget in a Quarter"

In response, Uber is doing three things:
-Slowing headcount growth as AI makes engineers more productive
-Reserving expensive frontier models for exploration only and shifting production workloads to cheaper open source models
-Capping each employee at $1,500/month per AI coding tool

@IterIntellectus sounds like the soundtrack to tenet
